Gambar Sebuah Taman II

Sajak Federico Garcia Lorca



Bulan mendamba lelaki

siapa dia bisa melupa?

Mimpi merasuki bumi

mengeras mengkristal.



Geram dan pucat pasi

mengharap laut jadi lelap

lalu menyisiri rambutnya

dengan tangis batu koral.



Ramput ikalnya bersinar

Siapa dia bisa melupa?

ada di dadanya seratus

bibir: sumber semata air.



Ada lembing raksasa

menderu memperisainya

Ada ombak tanpa gerak

laut datar tak beriak.



Tapi Bulan Sang Bulan

Bilakah dia datang lagi?

Tengok, tirai-tirai angin

gemetar tak juga berhenti.



Bulan mendamba lelaki

Siapa dia bisa melupa?

Mimpi merasuki bumi

mengeras mengkristal.

Print of the Garden II



The Moon widow

who could forget her?

Dreaming that Earth

might be crystal.



Furious and pallid

wishing the sea to sleep

combing her long hair

with cries of coral.



Her tresses of glass

who could forget them?

In her breast the hundred

lips of a fountain.



Spears of giant

surges guard her

by the still waves

of sea-flats.



But the Moon Moon

when will she return?

The curtain of wind

trembles without ceasing.



The Moon widow

who could forget her?

Dreaming that Earth

might be crystal.
